Bubba Watson claimed a dramatic win in the US Masters, beating Louis Oosthuizen in a play-off at Augusta.

The 33-year-old American stopped Oosthuizen from becoming the third South African to don the green jacket in the last five years, and the first to win after producing an albatross.

Britain and Ireland were well represented on the final leaderboard, with Lee Westwood finishing on eight under, Ian Poulter on four under and both Ireland's Padraig Harrington and England's Justin Rose on four under.
